Novak Djokovic had long been an elite but just-below-the-cusp-type of player on the men’s tour. While he won his first Grand Slam very early in his career back in 2008, he hadn’t been able to maintain consistency.

Longtime coach Marian Vajda decided that 2011 would be the year they switched it up. He fixed Djokovic's serve, pushed his conditioning training harder than ever before and guided him to a gluten-free diet, which expanded his endurance.

The results speak for themselves. Djokovic is the world’s No. 1 player, after claiming the Australian Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open titles all this year.
